I got this big bag of unsweetened corn flakes from a friend. Not like the sugary frosted flakes but just some plain corn flakes. I tried some and they are fairly sweet but not overrun with sweet. It made me think of my rats. I was wondering if these would be okay for them to have since it seems...
I was looking at buying a new cage for my rats and I came across this one cage that I thought was pretty good for them.
Topeakmart 52" Height 6 Level Ferret Rabbit Small Animal Cage Hutch Indoor with 3 Front Doors & Wheels Black
The only thing that threw me off is that the bar spacing is one...
I am going to start litter training my rats and I wondered if anyone had any advice?
We have cats and I am pretty sure you can't use cat litter for rats but I was just checking. (I'm ready to buy them more litter)
Thanks!
I’m not sure who it was but one of the girls is having very big (1 inch) green mushy diarrhea like poops. I haven’t given them any new foods and they haven’t had any new treats. One of my girls is also sneezing every second and she doesn’t stop until she is asleep. I’m worried that there...
my girly had a little episode where she ran and hit behind the couch. I got her out but ever since then she’s been terrified of me. She won’t even take a treat from me. When she sees me she hunches up in a corner of her cage. Her eyes get big and I can see the blue in them (which I think means...
sorry I couldn’t find anything on this. I have 2 cats. My cats are not allowed anywhere near my rats, but they (cats) seem fairly interested in what’s on the otherwise of the door. My cats have brought in mice before. I would NEVER want to put my rats in a stressful situation, and I’ve heard...
I think one of my rats ate a hair tie (or just had a good chew on one) they are eating,drinking,pooping and everything seems okay, but I’m really worried. The hair tie has a rubber band type thing to make it stretchy so that’s what the second photo is. I’m really scared!
Help!!
In all the movies and all TV shows rats always eat cheese. I’ve also read that some people give their rats cheese, And lots of people don’t. Is it okay to give them cheese as a VERY special treat? Or not okay at all.
Also I see people giving their rats little baby food stars (I’ll include a...
so sorry to keep posting like this!
Anyway, I got my baby a new girly. I already have an idea of how I want to bond them (carrier and neutral territory) but any tips on how to make the bonding more successful?
Thanks!
Hello everyone!
My name is Bree and I live in the United States! Just here to ask my question and try to help some people out if I can! Happy to be here!
So right now my baby lives alone. I am getting her a cage mate as soon as I possibly can (very VERY soon)
A lot of people say that it can lead to behavior problems and depression in rats. How can I tell if my rat is depressed and how can I help her feel better until she gets a new friend?
So I just got my new baby and posted a thread on her biting me. A lot of people said to get another friend for her to live with. Can everyone give me a list of reasons why this is good and also why it’s bad to only have 1 rat? Thanks!
EDIT: for her a playmate!
I have a new baby rat named Diablo (girl)
I got her on February 13 2019 and I haven’t touched her yet. I want her to settle in and feel safe before I touch her. When I moved her bed she bit me. Really REALLY hard. This has been continuing for the time that I have had her. Any tips on how to...
